Great video, very clear. Would there be any merit in replacing the fragile two part hub seal with a regular double lipped seal running on the spindle?

@WesternCanadianRockwell Год назад

The seal is actually pretty robust, just doesn't like being removed and reinstalled, companion seals typically last way longer than a normal lip seal under normal operating conditions

@littlesteve855 Год назад

Whats the availability on axletechs currently?

@WesternCanadianRockwell Год назад

they are a bit slim these days but we can still get sets

@huckstirred7112 Год назад

axletech made portals for the 3 and 4000 have you ever seen these ? I would think that would be a bounty hole killer

@jamie_grieve Год назад

I have the older Rockwell version of the 3000 series with portals. If you look it up on Pirate4x4 you’ll see a pile of pictures of them torn down. Hopefully when they went on to be redesigned by axletech they sorted out the shortcomings. I never did use mine but thinking I might build an independent setup from the knuckles out.

@@jamie_grieve thank you

@WesternCanadianRockwell Год назад

we have seen a few sets, they are not very common though

@@WesternCanadianRockwell Why is that . ? I believe portal hubs or final drives if your a farmer are not more popular is because there is way to much drop .The drop below axle center line is far worse than blocks on top of the housing . I have been working on coming up with final drives with only 3 inches drop and uses the 14 bolt center section and rockwell 2 1/2 ton knuckles , king pins , U joints . I am shooting for a 1.75 or there about gear ratio .I wanted to use the rockwell knuckles mostly because of the boot that keeps mud out of the u joints . But the lack of bushing on the inside concerns me ,. What is your opinion on my choice of knuckle . I am in the final design phase . Your videos or such a help . Thank you for responding to my comments

@@huckstirred7112 I’m curious why you think blocks on top of a straight axle is superior to a typical portal axle with say a 5” drop? I’m not disagreeing with you for your application, I’m always interested to learn new things. I run portals on a few things and they’re really bad if you get properly bogged as they’ll start burrowing under the ground instead of climbing on top. I’m interested in your portal hub design too with how you get a 3” drop, are you using a sun gear like a planetary? Cheers.
